Stuck Spindle

Any tips for getting the spindle off on the front axle of my 96' Ranger, It is quite a pain.

I imagine are talking about front spindal on a 4wd. They can be fun with out the right tool but I always use a peice of 2x4 and a Big Hammer. Cover the spindal with a rag, put the 2x4 on 1 side and hit it HARD. ( don't Miss ) Then put the 2x4 on the other side and hit, When it starts to move Spray penetant in the gap and work a chiesel around it.

They can be FUN.

yep, spray it with wd-40 and get the biggest shot-hammer you can buy, beat the livving heck outta it, one side than the other. when youre ready to put it all back together, clean everything real well and use anti-seize where the spindle seats into the steering knuckle, it will make the "next time" much easier.
